Blacked Out Means Yes?

The story about two football players in Steubenville, OH being accused of rape (after seemingly getting away with it) has touched a national chord.  I first read about it on Deadspin, and they had picked up the story from The New York Times.

I showed my students the video above.  I shouldn't be shocked anymore, but I was--at how many students think the victim a) had what was coming to her and/or b) it wasn't rape because she was blacked out.  My main response: I hope you figure out what a felony is before you get to college...
